I agree.

I think it would be a good idea to have this handled by
apt-listchanges, apt-get or aptitude.
For apt-listchanges, this could be implemented by having a command
line option that lists all changes for all packages that can be found
in /var/cache/apt/archives.
For apt-get and aptitude, I suspect that this would need to be
configuratble somewhere in the apt configuration (maybe even in a
library so that a single change cares for apt-get and aptitude
respectively), but I do not have enough clue to judge that. The idea
is to call apt-listchanges even if apt-get/aptitude were called with
--download-only.
I am cloning this bug to apt-listchanges, apt and aptitude.
Maintainers of these packages, please feel free to close your instance
of your bug if you find the fix inappopriate for your package.
